I've noticed lately, particularly since upgrading to Firebird 0.7 (but I believe this may have happened a few times with 0.6.1) that occasionally Firebird will appear to stop listening to any keyboard input - ie, if the cursor is in a text entry box, nothing I type has any effect, ^T does not open a new tab and ^W does not close one, etc. To get keyboard back in FB, I need to close it and re-open it. I do have a couple of extensions installed (All In One Gestures, Tab Browser Extensions, and the googlebar), but I've been using those for some time. I suppose it's possible that these cause problems with the newer browser. I've also noticed, but this could be (likely is) an evolution problem, that if I copy and paste an email into a text entry box in Firebird (this occurred with Firebird 0.6.1, and I think it's since evo went to 1.4.5) the email runs all into one line. I only use plain text email. The above problem with keyboard input seems to happen most when I'm c&p'ing an email into a text entry box. I don't know if the behaviours are related; most of what I use FB for is using our own rt-based trouble tracking system, so of course I'll see it more often using it in that manner. :) I'm wondering if I'm alone in seeing these problems, or if somebody else has experienced them too?
